Definite classic. Good thing to be reading. :thumbsup:

His thoughts are inspiring, he gives good explanation, and a clear picture of the fact that he despises his sinful behaviour (though not at the time)...

I love the way it is written!

I do to. He writes it as a fellow person. Not as a saintly exalted theologian. I love it. And the way he despises his sin.

I have yet to read confessions, didn't know of it until the other day actually.

Has anyone read his book The City of God?

I have personally not read it yet but I have heard it is another classic.

No, I haven't read it. I have heard of it, but don't think that I have ever seen it is a store.

It is one of the best books I've ever read. I have never seen more sheer humility and honesty. Plus, the man is a genius. Definitely one of the best books a Christian can read besides the Bible.

i read it years ago. I remember i really enjoyed the way it was written.

For those of you who are very familiar with it, I have a question. The version I got is published by a Protestant group, Hendrickson Christian Classics. I am not criticizing it because it is Protestant, but are there other translations that might be better?
